	<h2>How To Use the Program</h2><br />
	<blockquote>
    	<h3>Logging In For the First Time</h3>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless you have already created an account, you will have to use the default username: admin, password: password.  Once you are logged into the system 
        with the default admin account, you will need to create a new user account for everyone in your house who will need to use the product.  Read the quick start guide included with
         the Intellistrip you purchased for more 'getting started' information.
        <br /><br />
      	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>From this point on, you must be logged in to use the rest of the features of the program.</u><br />
		<h3>Creating a New User Account</h3>
		&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Click the "Register New User" link at the top right of the screen.  Once at the Register page, enter your real name, desired
         username, and password.  If the registration is successful, you will be given the opportunity to add more users, or you will be given an appropriate error message and asked to 
         try again.  Once you have registered, you can logout of the admin account, and then log back in with your new account.  To log out, click the "Logout" link at the top right 
         corner of the page.<br /> <font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> The remember me feature for logging in.<br />
		<font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> Support for access groups and the ability  to control user permissions.<br />
		<h3>Registering An Intellistrip</h3>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have never added an Intellistrip before, all you will see on the main screen is a message saying that no Intellistrips have been found.  To add 
        one that you have purchased, click the "Add Strip" link at the top of the page.  You will then see a form that will ask you for the Intellistrip name and room.  This name can be
         anything you want.  Although it is allowed, it is probably not a good idea to use the same name for multiple Intellistrips.  If you want to put your Intellistrip in a room not 
         listed in the drop down menu, you can add more.  You will notice that there are three more input boxes.  These are pre-filled, so if you don't understand them, you don't need 
         to worry about it.  This is designed to make it as easy as possible for anyone to use Intellimation.
            <blockquote>
            <h4>Editing the Rooms List</h4>
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intellimation comes with 2 default rooms.  Don't worry if the room you want to put the Intellistrip in isn't included in the default list.  It is 
             very easy to add a room to the list.  From the "Add Intellistrip" page, click the "edit rooms" link.  Then enter the name of the room you want, and press submit.  You can 
             do this for as many rooms as you want to add to the list.  When you are finished, press "Cancel" to return to the Add Intellistrip page, or you can click the "Add Strip" 
             link at the top.<br /><font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> The ability to graphically organize your Intellistrips by room on the main page.<br /><font color=

            </blockquote>
        <h3>Adding a Device to an Intellistrip</h3>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After registering a new Intellistrip, return to the Main page.  You should see the Intellistrip you just added with 5 device ports available.
        Plug your device into the Intellistrip.  Click the "Add Device" button that corresponds with the port that you have connected your device to.  Enter in the device name, and the 
        type of device.  Don't worry if you don't see the type of device you want, you can add that by clicking on "edit device types" to the right of the drop down menu.  Additionally,
         you can change the Intellistrip and port you wish to add the device to, but these will be pre-selected depending on which "Add Device" button you clicked before.
			<blockquote>
            <h4>Editing the Device Types List</h4>
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intellimation comes with 4 default device types: Television, Lamp, Stereo, and DVD Player.  They each have icons that are displayed on the 
            Intellistrip graphic when that type of device has been added to the system.  To add your own, from the Add Device page, click the "edit device types" link to the right of 
            the drop down menu.  On the next page, enter the name you want to give your new device type, such as "Playstation," "Coffee Maker," or "George Foreman Gill."  Next, enter 
            the URL of an icon that you want to associate that device type with.  The size of the icon should be around 60 x 60 pixels.  If the addition is successful, you will be able 
            to add more device types, or you can click "Cancel" to return to the Add Device page.<br />  <font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> The next version of 
            Intellimation will allow you to upload a local file to our server.<br /><font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> The ability to edit or delete device types.<br />
            </blockquote>
         <h3>Reconfiguring an Existing Device</h3>
         &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you wish to reconfigure a preexisting device on your intellistrip, simply click the "Reconfigure Devices" link at the top of the page.  On the next 
         page, you will first select your device and click on the "Select for reconfiguration" button.  The next to fields will be automatically updated to reflect your choice.  You may
          change the Device Name, and Type of Device for your selection.  When done, press "Submit," and you will be able to either keep on reconfiguring devices, or to return to the 
          previous page, you can click the "Cancel" link, or simply navigate to another page using the toolbar at the top of the page.<br />
        <h3>Deleting a Device from the Intellistrip</h3>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you need to temporarily remove a device from your Intellistrip, assign another device to that port.  The old device is overwritten, but stays in the 
        system so you can add it to the Intellistrip in the future without re-entering any of the information.<br />
      <h3>Turning On and Off Devices</h3>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the best features of the Intelliface is the ability to turn on and off devices with only one click.  If the power to a device is off, clicking the
       device icon will turn it on.  If the power is already on, clicking the device icon will turn it off.<br />
		When the power state changes, so will the color behind the device icon.  When a device is on, the box will turn green, and when it is off the box will be gray.  If there is an 
        error, the box will turn red to graphically indicate the fact that there is an error.  When there is an error, the device icon and power state information will be replaced with 
        a status message such as "Device Not Found."<br />
        <font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> The ability to change the amount of power going to devices like lamps.  For 
        applicable devices, a slider will be placed below the power level information, and you will be able to slide the bar to incrementally increase or decrease the power level.<br />
		<h3>Turning Every Device on an Intellistrip On or Off</h3>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are two buttons located to the left of each Intellistrip that is displayed on the main page.  The "All On" button will turn every device that is 
        plugged into the Intellistrip on regardless of its current power state, and the "All Off" button will turn all these devices off regardless of its current power state.<br />
		<br />
		<br />
</blockquote>
    <font color="#0000FF"><b>Coming Soon! </b></font> Future versions of Intellimation will include user customizable presets and timers.  If you want, you would be able to create a
     preset that, when executed, will turn on all devices in your home entertainment system - even if they are on different Intellistrips.  Setting a timer on a device will let you 
     set it to automatically turn on at a certain time, and then automatically turn off at a later time.  These features are great when used separately, but become very powerful 
     when combined, for example you will be able to set a timer on a preset that will turn all of your appliances when you go to bed, so you don't have to wander around the house 
     making sure everything is off before going to bed.<br /><br />Questions/Comments?  Call Intellimation Tech Support at: 1-800-TMR-TECH.
